The People's Republic of The Real Ram Ranch is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 211 million Mistakes are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.6%.

The powerhouse Real Ram Ranchian economy, worth 21.5 trillion beatings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 101,988 beatings, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Glamping Mistakes won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, bars are packed at all hours, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", and prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Real Ram Ranch's national animal is the Tuberculosis, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
